Scottie Pippen’s Ex-Wife Caught Getting Cozy with Another Pro Basketball Star
Larsa Pippen is back in the headlines after being spotted getting extra close with yet another pro basketball star. The latest sighting has social media buzzing, with fans speculating about her dating history and its ongoing connection to the NBA.
Larsa Pippen certainly seems to have a type.
Pippen, 50, was famously married to NBA Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen for more than two decades. The pair have four children together–Scotty Jr., Preston, Justin and Sophia. After her divorce from Pippen was finalized, Larsa was infamously in a relationship with Marcus Jordan, a former UCF basketball standout and the son of the legendary Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen’s longtime Chicago Bulls teammate.
Larsa and Marcus haven’t been an item for a little while now, but the “Real Housewives of Miami” star is back in the headlines for a rumored dalliance with another pro hooper.
According to Page Six, Pippen was spotted “showing PDA” with 31-year-old basketball player Jeff Coby at a friend’s birthday party in Miami last weekend.
The 6-foot-8 Coby, 31, played collegiately at Columbia from 2013-17 before spending several seasons competing overseas. He most recently suited up for the Yamaguchi Patriots of the Japanese B League in 2022-23.

Page Six reported that Pippen was seen “holding hands” with the “tall” and “much-younger guy” at restaurant Maple & Ash.
“They were cute. She was glowing,” a source told Page Six, adding that Pippen “seemed really happy and smiley.”
Whether this partnership is more casual or the “real thing” remains to be seen. However long it lasts, it definitely will not draw the attention that Pippen’s controversial pairing with Jordan did.
“She did not commit a crime. She did not break any laws. She’s not trifling or anything like that, like some of y’all would say. But can we at least acknowledge it’s uncomfortable for a multitude of people?” ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith said of Pippen dating MJ’s son back in 2023.
“I have no doubt that there had to have been, over the course of all those years [they] played together a time when her and the kids were around Michael and his kids.”
